Obsessive guilt & embarrassment

74% Normal
7 Comments

I feel guilty almost all of the time - mostly about money-related things. I feel guilty that I am in school and my parents have to work so much to help support me, I feel guilty that I can't pull more weight, etc.

Also, I get embarrassed over little things and obsess over it for a long time (little things like thinking I said something stupid, wore a bad outfit, had bad hair, possibly offended someone, etc). Most of the time it is just stuff I notice that probably no one else would but I can't help but obsess over it.

    You'll need some counseling because your situation is too complicated to solve with a post on IIN.

    its probably not normal, but you're not alone. the thing is, you already know the problem and you know that it is pretty irrational, so it wont be long before you get over it. admitting that you have a problem is the first step to recovery.

    Hey dude, go easy on yourself. You just happen to be a very harsh critic of the person you are.

    Have you ever rewarded yourself for a good act no matter how tiny it could be??

    Self-criticism is good but don't take it too far. Believe in yourself and improve your self-confidence.

    Just for the record, humans including myself can be really dumb sometimes, so you're not the only one. Good luck!
